По причинам личного характера не выложила оперативно новости, которые уже стали "старостями" Но порядок должен быть!
Итак, отгремел юбилейный ДР Ричарда.
Все желающие поздравили. Гайлти провела традиционный, вернее, в этом году из-за того, что Ричард пожертвовал для аукциона куртку Гая, он был необычным. Куртка ушла американской поклоннице более чем за 6 тыщ фунтов. Ричард пообщал такую же сумму тоже пожертвовать. В итоге на аукционе было собрано больше 16 тысяч, но там какие-то вычеты и прочая ерунда, но довольно внушительная сумма была передана в фонд хосписа, в котором находилась мать Ричарда.
Были еще трогательные подарки, отмеченные Ричардом, например, много-много рукописных поздравлений-пожеланий от одного из иностранных ФК.
Поклонница, которой досталась куртка написала Гайлти и та опубликовала гостевой пост в совем блоге.
Поклонница стала ею не так давно и задала Ричарду несколько вопросов, на которые он любезно ответил в твиттере.
Вопрос: While he was filming Hannibal as Francis/Red Dragon, did he recall that in one of the first few Spooks episodes he was unpacking a box of personal items to decorate his new flat and one of the items was a photo of the Red Dragon and that Lucas was a fan of Blake’s? Question: Do you believe it to be simply a bizarre coincidence you were asked to play Francis or perhaps, could it have been kismet? Have there been any other similar kismet-like occurrences in any of your other works?
Richard: Re; Hannibal and M15 (you’re in the US!!!) I use William Blake a lot for research and inspiration but it was a coincidence.
Вопрос: I’ve often thought that performing any Shakespearean play on stage would be quite a challenge in part due to the length of the monologues and soliloquys. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if Shakespeare had a hatred of actors, despite having done some acting of his own, and that writing these lengthy passages was an intentionally devious act to make life difficult for actors. RA has commented that he would like to play Richard III. Question: If you were put on the spot, say in an interview or a dinner party (presuming you weren’t too far into your cups) could you recite the opening soliloquy of Richard III by heart?
Richard: I absolutely could recite the opening soliloquy to R3. Probably would get a bit ‘paraphrasy’ according to how much I’ve imbibed!!!
Вопрос: In almost every movie/TV show I’ve seen RA in, at some point, he picks up and carries a woman somewhere. Most of the time he’s carrying them to a bedroom. (How truly gallant of him to carry these women that are apparently so drowsy they cannot walk on their own to the bedroom to go to sleep?) Must keep this G-Rated. Question: So, Mr. Half-Century man, how is your back holding up?
Richard: My back is just fine. Looking for someone to carry me in my next role.!!!
Вопрос: As we know, RA likes to write bios for his characters to help him realize the characters’ persona. The director of The Stranger, Danny Brocklehurst, took some of those ideas and added them to the series. While promoting it, RA stated that one of the story lines in the show was something that Richard had experienced himself. Question: Would you be willing to share what experience you and Adam had in common?
Richard: Adam Price has a conversation with Johanna Griffin (the amazing @SFinneranTV) he tells a story about how he met Corrine; the story was peppered with real details about a time I was working in Africa. (Strike Back)
Вопрос: RA has been filmed extensively on horseback. Actors often comment on how hard it is to get a nag to hit its mark while filming. According to the “Equine Actors Guild, **” (EAG) these beautiful stallions are well trained in their craft and their hooves do NOT miss their mark. The EAG suggests it is perhaps the fault of the actor on the back of the steed and not the mount itself. Question: Have you ever had trouble getting your hirsute, four-legged thespians to hit their mark? What about the two beautiful Borzoi in Oceans 8?
Richard: With regards to horses hitting their marks. I’ve had great experiences and made some firm equine friends on film sets. I did, however, ride a thoroughbred for a short time on Robin Hood, he knew showbiz was a step down from racing, and decided one afternoon to bail…
He tore the bit, and sped off with Gisborne on his back riding with only one rein. So the jacket might have some ‘sweat’ stains, but also I agree with the horse. Racing V Showbiz? No contest!!!
Вопрос: WikiFeet, which I didn’t know was a thing until a minute ago, ranks RA’s feet 4.77 out of 5.0 compared to other famous people from Leicestershire. I am not a foot person and do my absolute best to not draw attention to my own feet and quite frankly I don’t notice other people’s feet, including RA’s. Question: How do inane “news” stories and rankings on such stupid things sit with you? As a shy(ish) woman, it would make me uncomfortable, and quite frankly, would chap-my-ass be I in your shoes – pun intended. At this point in your career, are you numb to the idiocy of this and can ignore it and move on with your day, or does it chap-your-ass as well, or do you adhere to the adage that all publicity is good publicity?
Richard: I rarely read anything written about myself, apart from items that are brought to my attention (by very kind friends). I try to keep my brain full of the useful stuff; there isn’t that much room for anything else.
Еще из новостей - постепенно пополняется каст для Севильи. Но никакой информации о перспективах начала съемок пока нет.
В планах стоял "Тогда и сейчас", помнится, были планы начать съемки в конце сентября. Пока что никакой конкретной информации тоже нет.
